Universities & admissions Questions

Yes, your medical science degree plus 3 years as a medical officer qualifies you for several Master's programs, mainly Master of Public Health at UNSW, Monash, Sydney, or Auckland, plus Master of Clinical Research at Monash and Master of Medical Science at Otago, which specifically accept medical degrees like MBBS.

Yes, submitting 3 letters of recommendation from faculty in the same department is usually accepted, as long as the university doesn't specifically require a mix of departments or academic and professional recommenders. Each letter should still highlight a different strength, such as coursework, research, or leadership, for a well-rounded application.

Yes, you can apply for Canadian master's funding with a four-year bachelor's and three years of work experience. Full funding is more common through research or teaching assistantships than a single named scholarship. One example, the Canada Graduate Research Scholarship, pays CAD 27,000 for one year in 2026.

Yes, France, the USA, and the UAE each run 2 intake windows. France's main intake is September with a January option; the USA's main intake is Fall, in August or September; the UAE's main intake is September, with some programs also offering January entry.

Yes, a bachelor's degree in Instrumentation Engineering is directly relevant for a master's in instrumentation, instrumentation and control, or closely related fields. Programs such as M.Tech in Instrumentation Technology explicitly list this background as eligible. Each university still sets its own exact prerequisite subjects.

Yes, you can apply for an MBA with a Human Resources specialisation in Australia or Ireland after a bachelor's in psychology. Psychology is considered a relevant background because it covers employee behaviour and motivation. Some Australian MBAs also require a few years of prior work experience alongside your degree.

A standard master's takes two years in Italy and two years in France. France offers a faster route: if admitted directly into the second year, called M2, you can complete your degree in about one year. Italy has no one year equivalent for its standard two year Laurea Magistrale.

UK master's courses use names such as MSc Project Management, MSc Programme and Project Management, MSc Logistics and Supply Chain Management, and MSc Supply Chain and Logistics Management. Universities like Portsmouth, Warwick, Bath, and Heriot-Watt offer these one year programs for 2026 to 2027 entry.
